Owner Financed Rental

[John Gillum]

Hello everyone,

So I am just starting out in the Tri-cities area of TN. I am looking at a SFH property in Kingsport as a potential rental. I am confident in my numbers, but as this is my first rental, I am a little concerned about the Covid situation as it comes to rentals. I'd love to here from anyone out there about this topic. How do I insure against a situation where a tenant is able to not pay rent. How do I screen potential tenants properly? Are any of the landlords on here struggling from these same issues?

Any advice would be great!

Thank you.
